WHAT HAPPENED? Probably a lot but we will never know what all. When you compare those to (for example) Game of Thrones battle scenes the comparison isn't even close. Also it was just too short.
But it was well-written and well-acted and had some truly memorable characters, so it's definitely worth a watch. It's a shame it didn't run longer. There are several GoT actors who pop up here and there. The guy who played Brutus also plays Edmure Tully in GoT for example.
